Signature Shares is joining the Fishin’ Chix revolution by partnering with the group for its annual Pink Rubber Boots Fishing Rodeos – a series of sport fishing tournaments along the Gulf Coast just for women.

Signature Shares, the fractional yacht ownership company based out of North Light Yacht Club in Niceville, Fla., will be providing its fully-outfitted boats for use during each of the following Fishin’ Chix tournaments:

In addition to providing a boat for the participating anglers to use during the tournaments, Signature Shares announces the Signature Shares Pink Rubber Boots Challenge. If any registered Fishin' Chix member buys a share in a Signature Share boat in 2009, Signature Shares will provide at no additional charge a United States Coast Guard licensed and approved captain for 10 trips and make a $1,000 contribution to the Fishin' Chix Organization.

“Fishin’ Chix does such a wonderful job of promoting the fun and exciting sport of fishing to female anglers along the Gulf Coast,” said Matthew V. Condon, president and chief executive officer of Signature Shares. “I am so happy to lend our support to get more ladies out on the water."

Fishin’ Chix creates turn-key tournaments so that women of every angling skill level – from experienced to no experience whatsoever – can participate in the rodeos. In that spirit, Signature Shares is a natural fit for female anglers who want to get out on the water in a luxurious boat but without the hassles or cost of traditional boat ownership.

Based out of Pensacola, Fla., Fishin’ Chix has become a national phenomenon with 600 members across 16 states. The organization’s Pink Rubber Boots Ladies Fishing Rodeos are not only a great way for women to come together on and off the water; they also help support Covenant Hospice and its unfunded children’s programs. Fishin’ Chix also supports the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation. In fact, Espenscheid serves on the Advisory Board for the foundation.

Signature Shares, an affiliate of Galati Yacht Sales, offers access to a fleet of professionally managed, effortless boating options starting at $295 per month including a 29-foot Regulator based in Destin, Fla., and a 32-foot Regulator in Orange Beach, Ala.

Signature Shares is the leading local syndicate for the fractional use of first-class yachts, professionally outfitted and maintained at a fraction of the normal cost of a owning a yacht. The company manages all aspects of the yacht in an effort to make the boat-ownership experience worry-free and hassle-free. Signature Shares is an affiliate of Galati Yacht Sales – the country’s No. 1 ranked marine dealer according to Boating Industry magazine.
